| Recently when planting seeds for gardening, it was a wonderful experience. Even for those who may not for whatever reason be able to give birth to children. They still give birth to creativity, for this is a part of ones self and that's a wonderful sensation. So for both female & male is the power of Creation...guided by Wisdom. |

Next time you want to
imbue lunar rays of the Lady into stones...Moonstones or others.
Try this...when she is full and it is a cloudless night, go outside with
a quartz crystal ball and hold it between the Lady and what you are
imbuing, then start bringing ball closer to the stone until you see the
light permeate the stone below the crystal. Move it around if you
wish. If you know before hand that it is going to be cloudy that
evening, then do it before the actual fullness. As the light will still be
building up. This also helps jewelry that one wears as well. Carrying the essence, perhaps for circling... |

| May 8th, 12:28 p.m. | Waning Moon: Our Lady will be in her fourth phase, she's waning. Now is the time for breaking down, destruction, doing away with what does not work for healing, and the wisdom for seeing this appears. This is the time of the Dark Mother, Crone, Grandmother, as she does not need light to see into the depths of being. She gives us a choice to see or not to see, the question is, "Are we willing to see what is there?" Her name is "Hecate", and many others according to culture. | ||
| May 15th, 7:06 a.m. | New Moon: Our Lady will be in her first phase, she's beginning anew. Her name at this time is "Green Hecate", and many others according to culture. | ||
| May 22nd, 12:25 a.m. | Waxing Moon: Our Lady will be in her second phase, she's waxing. She is building energy and focusing it for whatever needs arise. Her name at this time is "Diana", and many others according to culture. | ||
| May 30th, 1:40 a.m. | Full Moon: Our Lady will be in her third phase, totally full. This is the height of her being and fulfillment of all, as the great mother is about to give birth. Her name is "Selene", and many others according to culture. | ||

Beltaine, Lady Day, May Day |
|
Yes folks, we have
reached that parallel to Samhain when the veil is thin. This is a
fertility holiday of the Lady & Lord. It is also a time when elves and
fey are about and nature enchantments abound. This is also the
last holiday for planting even for the plane of the etheric realm.
And yes, this day marks the First Day of Summer! All cultures have
their own history of the holiday of "Beltaine". Regardless of culture,
this is a lovely and sacred holiday.

At this Family Beltaine Blast gathering near Asheville, NC the Moon will be in Taurus, then Gemini: |
| The waning moon is in Taurus at Beltaine Blast. The Moon in Taurus garb is in her earthy finery, all done up in rich greens and browns. This Moon-sign is The Lady at her most solid and sensual, feeling secure and well rooted in her sister Venus' sign, that all is quite well in your world, thank you, and there is no need to rock the boat. |
| We tend to resist change when the Moon is in this sign, especially change that is not of our own making. We would rather sit still, have a wonderful dinner, and listen to good music. We are into appreciating the beauty of this Earth-planet, a truly Venusian activity. When The Moon is here, we are into watching a sunset, viewing some good art, and taking care of money and other resources. |
| May 16, the waxing moon is in Gemini at Beltaine Blast. Gemini Moons are built for activity. This is a mutable air sign, so it likes to move around, quickly. When the Moon is here, we like to move around too. The Moon's costume now is a coat of many colors, so a variety truly becomes the spice of life. |
| Since Gemini is ruled by Mercury, now is when we are suddenly in the mood for conversation, for puzzles, riddles, and word games. We want two, at least two, of everything, and we are a bit more restless than usual. Now is a great time for letter writing, phone calls, or short trips, Now is when you will find the best shortcuts, and when you will need to take them, too. Watch for a tendency to become a bit scattered under this fun, fickle Moon. |
